Co-op PvE needs to stay in the game. Gonna be a letdown when they take it out.
Yea. I'm all for free shit, but for such a diverse cast it is kind of a let down.
Also sucks that certain characters don't get costumes.
By giririsss Go To PostSome of the skins are so lazy too. The pharah one is basically just a different colour.

I've been holding steady at around 2900-3000 SR. Having too much fun with McCree in general, and DVa when there's no Zarya around. That game is too much fun.
The community on this game is getting worse.
Everyone playing the blame game.
I play with friends a lot, since my SR is around 2950 and my friends are around 2400, the little shiny icon for diamond makes me stand out, and it never fails, i get insulted all the time. Everyone saying I suck, and the worst insults you can think of.
TBH if the game wasn't so fun, I'd already be out. In all my years online, Overwatch is easily the most toxic one I've played.

On snap I have not played this game in a month. PvE??? Shit, I hope it doesn't go away before I cannot try it

Is it just me or has Blizzard added more voice acting into the game? Not talking about the unlock-able voice lines you get in loot boxes but just general banter between characters before the match begins.

Sombra has a teleport, anti-shield emp, active camo, and a skill that stops abilities and healing items.
Hahaha
Can't wait.

Yeah. Not OP at all.
Shit needs to be nerfed into the ground ASAP. She'll be up for a rebuild in about 6 months when they can't figure out how to "ballance" her.
I think everything besides her regular hacking skill is fine. Having a normal ability that can render an enemy useless seems a bit unfair, especially when it's also part of her ult.
Her ult doesn't appear to have much range so I'm not too worried about that. No different than any other well-timed ult to be honest, especially a Mei ult. At least you get to move with Sombras, with Mei's you're just frozen for an eternity.
Her inclusion, while theoretically making Reinhardt "useless" (won't be the case) makes Winston more useful as he's a hard counter according to people that were able to play at Blizzcon.
If there's anything new characters have shown over the years, it's that no one has any idea what the fuck they're talking about. People always assume a character is useless or OP, and it's usually always the opposite. While not a DLC character, most of us were wrong about Mei, she found her way into the pro scene when we all thought she wasn't good enough and more of just a pug star like Junkrat.
tldr: we don't know shit, how about we wait until the character is out for at least a month before we proclaim she's op and needs to be nerfed.

Pharah feels really good in the PTR. For her hover jets, she got a 35% increase in the lift. She's a bit more mobile.
Sombra is a lot of fun. I didn't get to test her properly in PTR Quickplay (was never fast enough), but if the person playing her is smart, you can feel her influence on the match as soon as the first engagement. I would say that her with someone like Genji might feel oppressive (her passive + actual communication), but Winston should come into play and shut that down, the minute the other team sees two squishies.
Being on the receiving end of her bullshit as a healer...man... If you haven't heard loud Spanish in a while and are sitting on an ulti, you already know what's going to happen as soon as you hit Q or even think about it. That shit is getting the fuck denied out of it. Mercy getting hacked is a nightmare. Had me praying that her pistol got an upgrade. lol

By Kibner Go To PostToday is the last day iirc.Well shit,
By Rob Go To Posttldr: we don't know shit, how about we wait until the character is out for at least a month before we proclaim she's op and needs to be nerfed.Agreed.
By Rob Go To PostAnyone still play this? Kinda want that Genji skin but none of my friends want to play hotsLike 2 hours a day, when I don't go out. I only play competitive now. Everything else has gotten boring, it's too easy or too stupid. The only reason I see myself using the arcade or doing QP is to train the 12 or so characters I don't use in comp.
I would play less if I didn't have a group of around 12 people I play regularly with. Voice comm/teamspeak is where the fun happens. I think that's key for longevity.
for the 2 of us that still play
As someone that plays Sym I'm excited. Always thought even a small change like having all 6 turrets available from the start would be a huge buff on it's own. The other change I always theorized in my head was a way to give teammates more shields. Both of these are planned additions but I'm curious how the barrier works.
man programmers are brilliant but so socially awkward.
The six sentry change is MASSIVE. Now, instead of pre-preparing my nests, I can't be on the frontline and not be as worried about cool downs.
Overcharge shield? Ana's ult sounds better but we'll see. I've played losing with her on friggin Gibraltar with highest eliminations, lol.

Her shield ult is pretty good. I think it gives like 100 shields or something, also has a pretty big radius
i never got the chance to use her bc now everyone wants to, but seeing what she's capable of im happy. i only used her on hollywood/hanamura first point defense before,

Picking Sombra whenever I see a Symmetra. A roaming Tracer or Genji with that much in shields is a huge problem. lol
saw a post on reddit where this guy mentioned that sym/torb would be really useful. 75shields + 75 armor, would add so much durability to characters.
all this theorycrafting is pointless though. the weekly blizzard patches make sure nothing stays useful for long
also zarya nerfed again

Particle Barrier/Projected Barrier
Attacks that deal damage to both a barrier and the target of a barrier (such as Reinhardt's Fire Strike, Hanzo’s Dragonstrike, etc.), no longer deal damage to the barrier twice

I've played over 20 hours of Tracer in competitive at diamond level or close to diamond level. I'll say I still don't ever want to be paired up with those. I'd rather have another healer healing me when i come back, or another DPS to put pressure on the enemy team. It helps me much more than having one layer of HP that will be erased super quick anyway.
Mei is so broken that Ninjas in Pyjamas and compLexity have been playing the same map for the past 3+ hours
finally got this over the weekend.
Getting mad at thick cunts rushing attack spawns on defence, getting wiped and losing the capture point in 20 seconds

I'm starting to come around about Hanzo. He can be lethal on Point A. Like Widow, if he gets a pick, if the rest of the team understands they're 6v5, it's over.
Most suck ass though, like most Genji players. When you look at stats on Overbuff, you can see the legions of players who think doing a few thousand damage is enough...
Anyway, I'm excited about Season 3. Can't wait to be annoyed by my placement, and work hard to climb back up.

Kind of disappointed with the snowball fight. It was cool for one play-through, but eh. I was hoping for another PvE mode, akin to Junkenstein. That was the best extra they added, imho.
4 lootboxes in and of course I get the skin to a character that I don't ever play as ( Roadhog ). -_-
Zarya's only good skin continues to be the weightlifting one. ffs :(

By Omzz Go To PostIt's pretty much this
I love the Tekken 3 music, lol!
New Symmetra is so much fun. With the shield generator up, I'm outchea 1v1ing characters I have no business dealing with, and getting some W's. lol.
By Gabyskra Go To PostI find the game extremely well balanced tbh.I can't agree with that... 3 tank just reduces the number of real DPS options way too much. Plus the fact that Blizzard has never figured out what they want to do with McCree or anyone that requires a legit amount of gun skill.
Its really sailed pretty far away from being a FPS and is approaching Smite territory.
By DY_nasty Go To PostBlizzard has no idea how to balance this game holy shit.If WoW is any indication you basically get one or two OP AF classes, some OP AF synergies and then one or two picks you gotta do just to counter that mess. Least with OW you can switch characters during the match.

More reminiscent of the Sc2 Balance team.

It's at a stage where no class is OP... but there are many underwhelming ones. McCree, Soldier, Reaper are all ... nice? but so... if they're not in the right situation they're bad. So you're better off picking a class that is more well rounded and useful in more places... i.e. the tanks. Because battles really do take place in quite a few different places on the maps.
Pharah/Tracer/ Genji/ Mei are in this weird niche.
Hanzo / Widow/ Junkrat are ... just not seen.
And pro teams have proven that an organised team isn't really affected by the new symetra.
Bastion / Torb are still largely useless at a certain skill level.
3 Tank meta and Bastion is largely useless? Interesting.
I play in garbage-tier, so I play Torb often (on PC at that).

By Phoenix RISING Go To Post3 Tank meta and Bastion is largely useless? Interesting.Bastion's turret mode is what makes him deadly to tanks, but it is really easy to punish at higher skill brackets. To protect him, you need a Rein to stand in front of him, but that is losing out on a ton of potential by keeping Rein in one space and being purely defensive. He is very hard to be mobile with which leaves him out of place a lot of the time.
I play in garbage-tier, so I play Torb often (on PC at that).
He can be ok when sitting on the cart on offense, but I haven't found him to be much useful outside of that.
Torb can be fun on the right maps and right sides. Just never baby sit your turret. Use it as something to help you or your team flank. Drop armor packs for everyone and spam chokepoints with your primary.
Yeah, bastions immobility basically makes him useless against a team that will work together. You can gap close super easily. Or force the other team to stick to him, which means you get to pick the engagement.
It's a "flaw" of his character design. And basically why he's never picked in high levels. You will see him ... as a surprise pick... for one life. And that's about it. But you have to remember that some of this game is designed for console play. And ... on console he might be more powerful. Same as Torb REALLY is more powerful on Console.
Most of the tanks are either super mobile or super survivable. D.va has a boost and shields.. Roadhog can hook you out of place (Or if your Rein is focused on shielding Bastion, he can hook someone more important), Zarya has shields, Rein has shields, Winston is the definition of mobile, and can block bastion with his shield.
He's far from a counter to 3 tank.
Mei WAS a counter. And we'll probably see more of her again. McCree is preferred over Reaper at the moment cause Reapers ult feels a little clumsy without Ana's speed boost. But he will tear tanks apart with his normal attack, so you see teams start with a McCree, switch to Reaper for a death or 2 to get the other team looking for Reaper, then switch back to McCree and hope the other team is out of position looking for a Reaper.
Basically have them looking for sight lines/ targets that aren't there.
